An Apple Watch user recently shared his positive experience in using this device to improve his training performance in the gym. With the various advanced features it has, Apple Watch helps these users train more effectively in CrossFit and lift weights.

In many high-intensity exercises, monitoring heart rate is one of the main ways these users take advantage of the Apple Watch. He used this watch to monitor his heart rate during training and check the heart rate graph afterwards.

In several exercises that have a time limit of eight minutes, as well as high intensity for more than 30 minutes, users can see a heart rate increase of up to 190 BPM.

The user stated that when he saw his heart rate rise too fast at the start of the exercise, he tried to lower it to a more adjustable level, so that it could give maximum performance in the last minute. On the other hand, he also used this reading to encourage himself harder in shorter training.

After each exercise, Apple Watch provides a summary of the average and maximum heart rate achieved, as well as a graph showing heart rate variation during exercise. This feature really helps users to improve exercise efficiency in the next session.

In addition to training in the gym, users also combine statistics from Apple Health with a summary of their exercises. Several factors such as sleep and stress can affect exercise performance in the gym, and users pay close attention to statistics such as sleep, heart rate variability, heart rate during rest, and physical effort.

By paying attention to these statistics, users can determine the reasons for good or bad performance in certain exercises and find ways to fix them in the future. Statistics such as VO2 Max and other metrics are also used to help users get fitter overall.

To stay motivated while practicing on your own, users can set time and calories goals through the Workout application on the Apple Watch. This is very useful especially on days when motivation to go to a low gym, because by setting this goal, training feels more directed and not tiring.

Users can also choose the type of exercise that is most relevant to their activities in the gym. For example, for WOD CrossFit, users can choose Cross Training, and to weightlift the Olympics or lift the usual burden, or users can choose Traditional Stretch Training. Choosing the right exercise helps users categorize data and monitor progress better.

With access to more accurate statistics and the ability to adjust the exercise more specifically, Apple Watch has proven to be a very useful tool for these users in improving their exercise performance in the gym.
